FOREWORD 



The late Peter Mougey, Esqr., may be said to have been a 
numismatic seer. The perfect preservation of practically 
every one of his coins proves that when, many years ago, he pur- 
chased the pieces, he looked far into the future. He prized 
only those coins which were beautifully preserved, only 
the ones which turn out to be the most valuable today. For 
this reason alone, Mr. Mougey must be regarded as one of the 
wisest, if not, indeed, the most far-sighted American numisma- 
tist of his day. His coins came from notable sales, including the 
Mickley, Winsor, Bushnell, Parmelee, Frothingham, Cleneay, 
Maris, and others. 

In gold coins this collection is especially rich. Included are 
choice lines of early Eagles, Half Eagles, Quarter Eagles, Three 
and One Dollar Gold Pieces, Gold Proof Sets, as well as the 
unique $5. Bechtler Piece reading "Butherford County", but 
lacking "150 Gr.", (which distinguishes the next rarest variety, 
sold in my James B. Wilson Sale to Mr.Granberg for $785.00), 
also fine Ancient and Modern Foreign Gold. Noteworthy are 
the following: — 

Eagles: 1795, 1796, 1797 (four stars before the bust), 1798, 
over 1797, 1799, 1800, 1801, 1803, 1804, and later. 

Half Eagles: 1795, 1796, 1797 (15 and 16 stars), 1798, 1799, 
1800, 1802, 1804, 1805, 1806, 1807, 1808, 1809, 1810, 1811, 1812, 
1813, 1814, 1818, 1819 (last record $650.), 1821, 1823, 1825, 1826, 
1829 (excessively rare!), 1831, 1833, 1834 (with motto), 1834

CONDITIONS OF SALE. 



This is a bona-fide public sale, for prompt ca«h settlement, and irrespon- 
sible persons who are not sure whether they can pay for what they bid on, 
are asked not to bid. The cataloguer has taken special pains to describe each 
lot accurately. Errors will be corrected, but he reserves the sole right to de- 
eide upon any claims. These are the only conditions under which bids will 
be received. 

Coins and medals are sold at so much per PIECE, and no lot will be sep- 
arated. The auctioneer will accept any bid up to 50c, then 5c. up to 
$2.50, when 10c. advance must be bid, up to $10.00, when no advance under 
25 cents will be accepted. If there are 5 pieces in a lot and you wish to pay 
$5.00 for the entire lot, then bid $1.00. 
lot, then bid $1.00. 

Auction sales are strictly for cash. Parties unknown to me and bidding 
for the first time, must give bank or other reliable reference, or their bids 
will not be executed. 

Forward your bids as early as possible, as thousands of bids have to be 
entered. Do not make ridiculously low bids, such as 10c. and 15c. on foreign 
silver coins worth several times over as bullion. Write your bids plainly, 
with a pen if practicable. 

Where the number of pieces in a lot is not given after the description, 
there is but one piece in the lot. 

Be sure you bid on the lot you wish to buy. 

All coins, etc., are genuine unless otherwise described. 

My charge for executing bids will be 5 per cent. No charge made for 
bidding except for lots actually purchased. Remit by money order or New 
York draft. 

We will send a printed list of the prices realized for the three days' 
sale, for $1.50, cash to be sent in advance. 

If any further information is required as to valuation of lots, or how to bid, 
please write the cataloguer, Thomas L. Elder.

UNIQUE $5. BECHTLER PIECE. 

(1831). Obverse: ".C. Bechtler. Assayer. Rutherford 
County. *".. Reverse: "North Carolina Gold, 5 Dollars. 20 
Carats *". The distinctive feature of this unique piece is 
that it has not "150 Gr" under "20 Carats", as on lot 
1175 of my James B. Wilson Sale, which piece sold for 
$785 to Mr. Granberg. Mr. Hidden, the well-known au- 
thority on these coins, suspected the existence of such a 
piece, states that Bechtler had a good sense of propor- 
tion, and the line "150 Gr." makes the reverse design 
clearly lop-sided. Being unique this coin is worth just 
as much as any private gold coin that ever was sold. See 
Plate.

PLAIN AND PLATE CATALOGUES. 



The PLAIN Catalogues are sent free on application only. 

The PLATE CATALOGUES will contain about 40 magnifi- 
cent Photographic Plates, and will be something unique in the 
umismatic line, because each catalogue will become in the 
uture a work of reference on the subject of United States Coins, 
pecially Gold, Dollars, Half Dollars, Quarters, Dimes, Half 
Dimes, Cents and Half Cents. 

Of THE CENTS— the greatest collection ever offered for 
sale — there will be twenty plates alone. Each coin in the cata- 
logue is shown with remarkable clearness, the minutest varieties 
(being clearly distinguishable usually without a stfass. 

This catalogue contains many more plates than have ever 
peen prepared for an American sale catalogue. A certificate as 

io their excellence is given when it is stated that they have been 
>repared by Mr. Edgar H. Adams, an expert numismatist and 
photographer. 

In the preparation of these plates Mr. Elder has been put to 
So large an expense that even if the entire number of 50 cata- 
tagues be sold at the price asked, viz.: 

Five Dollars for a Plate Catalogue, 

(Or Six Dollars with a printed list of prices realized), his ex- 
pense will not nearly be covered. 

Plate catalogues should be ordered at once, to insure your 
securing a copy. 

Plate Catalogues sent prepaid on receipt of the above prices. 

Printed list of prices realized for the three days' sale, $1.50.
